Asking God to "Give us this day our daily bread" has to be one of the most familiar prayer requests in human history. But so few who pray this prayer have a full understanding of what Jesus had in mind when He taught it!

We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray presents some fresh prophetic insight on what it means to ask the Father for "Our Daily Bread".

What is the most important subject in the Bible?What is #1 on God's agenda for planet Earth?What was the main message of John the Baptist?What was the subject of Jesus' first sermon?What does the Lord tell us to pray for first in all our prayers? The answer to all of the above is: The Kingdom of God!

So why is it so many of God's people haven't got a clue? We hope you can join us this weekend for Pastor Ray's provocative message, "Thy Kingdom Come", and find out why this one thing changes every thing.

THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT: Part 29 – How To Pray and Get What You Pray For

Actually it is believing prayer that changes things! This Saturday evening's message, "How to Pray and Get What You Pray For" conveys the five principles of effective prayer that Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount. Be there!

Derek Prince, one of the greatest Bible teachers of the last generation, once pointed out that "It is the Fatherhood of God that makes Christianity different from all other religions". How right he was. Yet how often do we fail to see Jesus' emphasis on the importance of truly knowing God as Father?

We hope you can be with us this week as Pastor Ray continues our studies in the Sermon on the Mount with an inspirational message on what it means to be a child of God the Father.

The urge to retaliate or strike back at those who offend us comes natural to human beings. But why? Jesus gets to the heart of the matter this week when we consider the spiritual meaning behind such well-known sayings as "eye for an eye, tooth for tooth" and Jesus teaching to "turn the other check".

Jesus' hard line about the sanctity of marriage and the only acceptable grounds for divorce and remarriage offended the Pharisees and flustered His own disciples. How much more of a bombshell will it be for modern ears?

We continue in our verse-by-verse study of the Sermon on the Mount with this relevant and much needed message from Matthew 5:31-32

It would be hard to find anyone among us who has actually broken God's commandment that says, "Thou shalt not kill". But it would be equally hard to find anyone among us who has not had to deal with the inner attitude of anger, which according to Jesus, is the root of all murder.

This week, Pastor Ray will continue our studies from the Sermon on the Mount with an eye-opening look at what Jesus had to say about the problem of anger and how He commands us to deal with it.

May 20, 2017THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT: Part 19 – The Spiritual Nature of God’s Law

The Jews of Jesus' day mishandled God's Law and commandments the same way some Christians do to this day; they were caught up in the

letter of the Law and misunderstood its spiritual

nature.

In this week's message, Pastor Ray will introduce one of the most important sections of the Sermon on the Mount, (Matthew 5:21-48), where the Lord Jesus interprets Old Testament Law for New Testament believers.

During the Cold War, no one could get out of Communist East Berlin to freedom in West Berlin without passing through "Checkpoint Charlie". You had to have your papers in order to do so.

In this week's message, we will see the heavenly version of "Checkpoint Charlie" from Jesus' words, "Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:20

No one can go to heaven with "exceeding" righteousness but do we know what it is?

The stone rolled away and the proof of Christ is God's message to us that no obstacle or problem is too difficult for God. We will be examining the proofs of the claims of Jesus that He would rise from the dead after his crucifixion.

"Truly I say to you, unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the Kingdom of God." - Matthew 5:20

Only the truly righteous go to heaven. But there is a "counterfeit" kind righteousness that can't get you there. Pastor Ray continues our studies from the Sermon on the Mount this week with a message that is foundational to the Christian gospel. This is something you cannot afford to get wrong.

Our salvation in Christ not only delivers us from damnation, it sets us free to live our lives and make our choices under the limitless canopy of God's amazing grace. The Christian has been given a spiritual "bill of rights" befitting of those who are children of God and joint-heirs with Jesus. But our "rights" can become "wrongs" if we carelessly offend others

Jul 30, 2016THE BAIT OF SATAN: Part 4 – All That Can Be Shaken Will Be Shaken

One of the greatest secrets of our walk with the Lord is hidden within the mystery of Jesus' final words to an imprisoned John the Baptist recorded in Matthew 11:6: "Blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."

In this new series of prophetic teachings, Pastor Ray McCollum will expose the devil's most subtle strategy: the entrapment of the souls of all who fail to recognize and properly deal with the many inevitable offences that will come our way in this life.

"The incarnation is the most dramatic thing about Christianity; and indeed, the most dramatic thing that ever entered the mind of man."

But in recent years, the busyness of the Christmas season has tended to smother out our appreciation of the amazing account of the God who "becameflesh " and the practical implications it has for how we live our lives today.

Dorothy Sayers, a close friend of the great C.S. Lewis, once said: "The incarnation is the most dramatic thing about Christianity; and indeed, the most dramatic thing that ever entered the mind of man." But in recent years, the busyness of the Christmas season has tended to smother out our appreciation of the amazing account of the God who "became flesh" and the practical implications it has for how we live our lives today.

The Gospels of Matthew and Mark include the account of Jesus' interaction with a seemingly well qualified seeker of eternal life. The Master's response is curious, even counter-cultural to how we present the terms of discipleship today.

In the same way the slavers of Alex Haley's novel disconnected the Africans from their "Roots", so the devil seeks to keep God's people enslaved by separating us from the faith of our fathers.

Pastor Ray concludes this teaching series with how the Church can reclaim the culture for Christ by reconnecting with the radical faith of our fathers and the kind of discipleship that turns the world upside down.

The Bible tells us that Abraham is the "father of all them that believe," who are those who "walk in the steps" of his faith. In his 2nd message, Pastor Ray reveals an eye-opening view of what the true Christian life really looks like.

It may cause you to re-imagine your personal walk with the Lord and how you can help others seeking to follow Jesus!

In his Father's Day weekend message, Pastor Ray shows why Abraham is called "the father of all them that believe," and how God uses his life as a model for all who are called to "walk in the footsteps" of his faith. (See Romans 4:11-12).

You may be surprised to learn how closely his journey foreshadows Jesus' call to the 12...and to YOU!
